“Eid Mubarak!” echoes through the air as the crescent moon ushers in Eid-ul-Fitr 2024. Today, on April 11, Eid is being commemorated across India. While Muslims worldwide spotted the crescent moon on April 9, it was visible in only a few regions of India, namely Kerala and Jammu & Kashmir. Consequently, Eid-ul-Fitr was observed on April 10 in Ladakh, Jammu & Kashmir, and Kerala, whereas the rest of the country will celebrate it today with much pomp and enthusiasm. Similarly, in countries such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, USA, and the United Kingdom, among others in the Middle East, the crescent moon was not sighted on April 8, leading to the marking of Chand Raat on April 9 evening, followed by Eid celebrations on April 10.

Eid-ul-Fitr also known as Eid-al-Fitr, marks the first day of the Islamic month of Shawwal, which is the tenth month of the Islamic calendar. Eid signifies celebrations, while Fitr represents the breaking of the fast. Following a month-long fasting period during Ramadan, Muslims around the globe come together to observe Eid-ul-Fitr. The tradition of moon sighting, rooted in the practices from the time of Prophet Muhammad, holds significant importance in determining the commencement of Eid-ul-Fitr. As a result of variations in moon sightings, different regions may observe Eid on different days, often with a one-day discrepancy.
